My pal, Carol Shaben, launched her first book of non-fiction, Into the Abyss last night in Vancouver to a packed house. The launch caps a nearly 20 year journey for her to write the story; her patience in doing so was worth every second.

Her book is gripping, nicely structured, and gives emotional depth to a tragic story. She has skillfully imbued the book with humanity, generosity and respect for the men at the centre of it including a pilot, a cop, a criminal, and her father, a politician. It's a bestseller in the making and well deserved.
